Finn jolted awake from the nap she didn't realise she had been taking due to a loud banging, she murmured a 'what?' as she looked towards her front door briefly.
She then looked back at where her head had been and found Owen, he had been frowning at the door but smiled when her eyes were on him.
"Hey." he said before he gave the back of her neck a rub.
"Hey." she replied before she rubbed her face with her hand then looked down a little, she'd been lying against his side between the sofa and his body, "I fell asleep."
"You did." he replied.
His free arm was bent behind his head whilst the other one had obviously been draped around her before she woke up, one of his legs was hanging off the edged of the sofa whilst the other one was being used for her own injured one to rest over.
"I'm sorry." she said as she glanced at the door again.
"Don't be, you clearly needed it." he replied just as the banging on the door started again.
"I better get that." she said.
"I will." he replied as he began to gently remove himself from her, "You stay there and rest."
"Miss McKenzie." the unmistakable voice of Claire Dearing called out from the other side of the door and both Finn and Owen froze, "It's Claire Dearing, I must speak with you."
"Go hide." Finn told Owen as she began to get up, she tried not to let it show on her face how much it hurt.
"What?" he asked loudly and she shushed him, he then spoke in a low voice, "You want me to hide."
"Just until she's gone." Finn whispered then blew out a breath as a wave of lightheadedness hit her, he was at her side instantly but she began to walk towards the door whilst reassuring him she was fine.
"You shouldn't be standing." he told her.
"I can't not, sooner or later I'll need to go to the bathroom or go get food." she replied.
"That's what I'm here for." he said then smiled sweetly, she couldn't help but smile back.
"Even if my leg was gone." she began to say and he closed his eyes as he inhaled deeply, "Which it's not, but if it was...you still wouldn't be helping me to the bathroom, understood?"
Before he could reply there was more banging but it was louder this time and Claire shouted, "Miss Mckenzie!"
"Jeez." Finn said with a shake of her head, "That damn woman."
She headed towards the door again with Owen following her but when she halted and looked at him he reluctantly headed for her bedroom.
"Don't come out, no matter what you hear, okay?" she said before he disappeared inside her room, she then whisper shouted his name and he for a beat he stared at her, "Yes?"
"Okay." he replied eventually, through gritted teeth, he then closed the door and she let out a sigh.
After a moment she unlocked her front door and opened it, Claire was stood there and she didn't look impressed, infact...she looked very pissed.
"It's about time." she all but snapped and shoved her way past Finn into the house.
"Excuse you." Finn shot back as she turned.
Claire let out an irritated noise and marched the short distance to the front window, she threw back the curtains so hard that Finn let out a gasp.
"That's better." she said and glared at Finn, "Is there a reason this place is in darkness?"
Finn scoffed at that as Claire headed towards the back of the bungalow and opened curtains of the window there too.
"I was asleep." Finn said firmly then rolled her eyes when the woman went to her kitchen and yanked the cord of her kitchen window blinds, they hit the top of the window with a loud bang.
"Is there a reason for you coming into my home and rough handling my property?" she demanded.
Claire scoffed and began to walk towards her as she said, "This property and everything within it isn't yours, it belongs to the park, YOU are a temporary guest."
"What I am is a full time contracted employee and the length of my contract...is for Mr Masrani to decide, not you." Finn replied and attempted to cross her arms over her chest but it hurt, she let out an irritated sigh at both that and that woman's presence, "What do you want?"
"Do you have ANY idea, how much trouble you've caused?" Claire demanded loudly and Finn narrowed her eyes at her, "We have had almost two dozen complaints from park guests!"
"Complaints." Finn said and gasped when Claire had almost roared back, 'Yes, complaints!'.
"That's enough!" suddenly boomed from the doorway and both women looked towards it, Owen was stood there and he looked furious.
"This is none of your concern Mr Grady, remove yourself." Claire said dismissively.
"The hell I will!" Owen retorted as he walked towards them, "I could hear your screaming from outside, get a damn hold of yourself."
Finn stared at Claire as Owen came to stand by her side then asked, "What about these complaints?"
"What about them?" Claire demanded viciously as she took a step towards her but Owen held an arm out infront of her.
"Step back Claire." he said firmly and she shoved his arm away.
"I will not be told what to do by you." she almost hissed at him.
"Yes you will, you're out of order." he replied immediately and before she could speak he continued, "And there were no complaints, I've already spoken with your team. They received a number of concerned reports of an injured woman."
"Frantic reports." Claire shot back then turned her attention to Finn, "The guests that saw YOU were frantic. We had a rising panic on out hands, guests were threatening to leave!"
"Guests wanted to know if they would have to leave, they NEVER threatened to." Owen said then scoffed, "Get out of here."
"Excuse me?" Claire asked in angry disbelief.
"I'm reporting you to Mr Masrani." he replied and Claire's face had gone red with fury, "You have no right to come here and harass Finn, she almost died today and instead of inquiring to her well-being you're here inflicting blame on her for something she had no control over!"
"She caused guests to panic." Claire snapped then shook her head, "I've already warned you that she shouldn't have been near the animals and you defied me, again."
"Finn did NOTHING wrong, she was helping a boy, a STUPID boy! If she hadn't intervened then he would have been killed and she nearly died herself because of it!" Owen roared and Finn said his name softy but neither he or Claire seamed to hear her, "And another thing, if she hadn't done what she did, then the raptors would have been shot."
"The raptors would have been fine, the weapons were none lethal." Claire replied firmly then began to walk away from them.
"You're out of line Miss Dearing." he said to her retreating form but she ignored him.
"You will be hearing from me again Miss McKenzie." she shot back without looking at them and a moment passed before they heard her car screeching outside as she zoomed away.
"Bitch." Owen all but growled before he turned to Finn, "I know you said not to come out but, god damn...she was ATTACKING you, I couldn't just stand there and listen to that."
"I know." she replied and reached a hand up to his face, a moment of them just standing there passed before he gradually began to calm down, "Thank you...for, you know, being on my side."
Owen's own hands both moved to cup her face gently as he said, "Always."
She smiled up at him just before he leaned in and gave her a long kiss, she used one of her own hands to hold onto the arm of one of his.
"You need sleep." he told her as he removed his lips from hers and she found herself nodding in agreement, he then swiftly scooped her up into his arms.
Finn let out a content sigh as she rested her head in the crook of his neck and he began walking with her to her bedroom.
"I wonder when I'll be hearing from Miss Dearing." she muttered as he walked into her room and then she let out a snort, "If I wasn't feeling like poop...then I would have told her what's what."
"I don't doubt it." he replied with a grin as he pulled her duvet back, he then set her down gently and covered her up, "Take that nap which was rudely interrupted."
She mhm'd in response as her eyes began to droop, being in bed felt so good and just proved how exhausted she really was, "Yeah...I will. Wake me up."
A yawn cut off what she was saying and she briefly opened her eyes to look at him, he was smiling at her, she returned it before her eyes closed on their own once more.
"Wake me up...in a little while?" she asked then inhaled deeply.
"I will." he promised and then she felt him kiss her forehead, she smiled but didn't open her eyes, she was too tired.
"Thank you." she said softly and she didn't hear what or if he said anything, she fell asleep almost instantly.
